Thursday, June 7, 2012- Miraflor

Today, I went with the EOS team to Miraflor, which is a nature reserve north of Estelí, for a technology fair. We left around 6:30am, so that we could see a little bit of the park before we had to be at the fair to set up. The park was really beautiful. All of the orchids were in bloom and there were a lot of “mountains”, valleys, and all around beautiful scenery to look at.

We drove through this stream.

Really nice view.

The technology fair was an opportunity for the producers located within Miraflor to learn about sustainable technologies and share information that they also had about things that they were doing on their own pieces of land. We brought a demonstration of nearly every technology that we had to show off. We spent all day talking with producers and having an open discussion about various technologies. We had a great lunch there also.

We got back late enough that I missed the last bus to Sabana Larga, so I had to stay in the office. I then decided that I was just going to leave for Ometepe earlier.
